About the Author

Evan Currie is the bestselling author of the Odyssey One series, the Warrior’s Wings series, and more. Although his post-secondary education was in computer sciences, and he has worked in the local lobster industry steadily over the last decade, writing has always been his true passion. Currie himself says it best: “It’s what I do for fun and to relax. There’s not much I can imagine better than being a storyteller.”

I bought this book several months ago and was eagerly waiting for it the entire time to the point that I arranged my reading at the time of release. Currie didn't disappoint with his story in this latest chapter of the adventures of the Odyssey. Obviously, the action moves on to earth now given the title. It was an exciting story that had some twists and turns--I was especially surprised to see the twist at the end. I won't spoil it to say it was very interesting how the book ended.

This book fleshed out the universe of the series a little more. Readers get to glimpse a little of what the opposing side on Earth looks like as well as the "third" side in space. Unfortunately, that little glance only makes me want to know more about what it was I saw. I have the feeling that Currie will show us more in the next book (or series of books).

One of the most enjoyable elements throughout the series has been the way the author has blended the action in his story as well as the hard science fiction type of details--this has not changed through this book (as well as the first two books in the series). As you read, you get to see the author's solutions for the problems of both warfare and space travel--he has some ideas that while maybe beyond the realm of the possible (at least for now), seem to work or at least don't abandon all the laws of physics. It makes me wish for some TV love for the series as the visuals of his tech in motion would be stunning.

One thing that served as a pleasant surprise: for a small author, grammar and typos were mostly right, making reading much faster and enjoyable.

Another awesome entry into the Odyssey series. In this one Odyssey and her crew get to kick Drasin butt and I mean a lot of it - with odds sgnificantly stacked against them I might add. Homeworld was such an entertaining read from start to finish - with mindblowing space battles on a scale that is hard to imagine, the tense battle scenes had me on the edge of my seat as the overwhelming Drasin force inches closer and closer to Earth. Honestly I had to stop reading occasionally just to catch my breath - the action was just so hot and heavy. Even the Block enters into the fray and politics takes a backseat as the Earth forces try and defend our little blue world against the Drasin monsters. Currie has provided a wonderfully entertaining story that is filled to brim with great characters such as Captain Eric Stanton "Raziel" Weston (what a name!!!) the brilliant, pain in the butt strategist who always seems to have a few aces up his sleeve and can rile up the Drasin without breaking a sweat - yep, the Drasin are definitely not fans of Captain Weston; the plot-line is great and new elements are brought into the story and we learn about the Empire who have been controlling the Drasin - hopefully we get to find out about them in future books. All in all I highly recommend the entire Odyssey series to sci-fi fans who love action, a dash of mystery, great characters and a touch of humour thrown in for good measure.

This is Military Science Fiction. A basic tenet of MILITARY Science Fiction is that there is...combat...there is action...the good guys need to identify, find, fix and destroy the bad guys, usually evil aliens. There are several very good writers of 'in space' action and Evan Currie is among the best. His books are full of action, which should be a basic tenet of MILITARY Science Fiction. In this third book of the series there is even more action than in book one and two. A lot of the non action foundation has been laid so there is plenty of space for action and Mr. Currie fills it well. He does not talk about the childhood angst of characters or their alcoholism, or their obesity, or their hemorrhoids or whatever, as many military sci fi writers prefer to fill their books.Very wisely, Mr. Currie does not, in this book, do any land warfare action, as in book two. In book two, the land warfare was not very good at all, sub par, but Mr. Currie has learned from that experience and there is no such repeat. Perhaps, with study, application, and an awareness of his weaknesses, Mr. Currie could correct that deficiency, if he desires.However, of the three (so far) in this series, I think that, while this book is very good, it is also the weakest. Others have criticized Mr. Currie's tendency to write a lot (too much?) on the technical and...he does write a lot. Too much I think, but it does not bother me so much and it does make it all seem...plausible, which is important in a futuristic sci fi book.Others have also criticized lack of character development and over one book, I do not think it was a detriment, however, by the third book, it would be nice to know a little more about the main characters...other that highlights of his military career, we know nothing about Eric Weston. I think there should be some more by now.In the second book, some 'spiritual' component was hinted. Now, in the end of this book, as things are going to hell, a mysterious, spiritual component is infused into the situation. Instead of an, 'aha', moment, all it does is make the rather simple plot, woozy. Like all of a sudden, 'The Force', will resolve everything. I did not like it. Its like Mr. Currie is scrambling, just pulling something out of his hat to save the day. Instead of making me yearn to read the next book...it makes me roll my eyes and...feel disappointed.

This is the third book in Currie's four-book series Odyssey One .... Tip #1 ... read "Into the Black" (the 1st book - first!) Tip #2 ... read the 2nd book "Heart of Matter" next!! This series is special enough that anyone with a keen interest in quality scifi won't want to miss an episode. I reviewed/rated the first two books both 4-Star. Prior to reading it, I had hoped the author would go into greater detail in this 3rd book regarding the Arch-nemesis of the series adding more explanation for the philosophy behind their mentality - Mission accomplished !! .... earning this book a 5-Star rating from me and making it the best edition so far in the series. Can't wait to finish the series tonight with the fourth book.
